# One should wash with a cup or some sort of vessel. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 4:7, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 2:4, Mishna Brurah 4:15, Kitzur S"A of Rav Mordechai Eliyahu 2:1. </ref> If there is no cup available, according to Ashkenazim, if one is in an extenuating circumstance and one wants to pray, one may wash without a cup with a bracha. According to Sephardim, if one washes without a cup, such as if one washes directly from the faucet, one should not recite a bracha. <ref> Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 2:6 writes that in an extenuating circumstance when there is no cup available and one wants to pray one should wash without a cup and with a bracha. However, Rav Mordechai Eliyahu (comments on Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 2:9) writes that if one washes without a cup one should not make the bracha.

# One should wash up to one's wrists. If there is not enough water available, it is sufficient to wash up to one's major knuckles (where one's fingers connect to the hand). <ref> Mishna Brurah 4:9 writes that one should wash up to one's wrists and if there happens not to be enough water, it is sufficient to wash up to one's knuckles. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 2:3 agrees. Ben Ish Chai (Parashat Toldot #2) writes that one must wash until one's wrists except on [[Yom Kippur]] and [[Tisha BeAv]] when one may only wash up to one's knuckles. </ref> | # One should wash up to one's wrists.

# One should wash one's right hand first, then one's left hand, and repeat this process two more times so that one washes each hand 3 times alternating hands in the process.

# If one touched an unclean part of the body or went to the bathroom, one must search and find water to wash one's hands without a bracha for [[Shemoneh Esrei]]. <ref> Mishna Brurah 92:27 writes that this applies only if one has Stam hands(they are in doubt as to their cleanliness). Shulchan Aruch is lenient and states one does not have to search for water if it is not around, however if there is a certain impurity such as if one touched an unclean area or went to the bathroom, one certainly must wash hands. Kaf Hachayim 4:86 writes that if one is in the middle of the [[Shemoneh Esrei]] and one realizes one touched something that would obligate one to wash, one should just wipe one's hands on "midi diminakei" such as one's clothes, wood, or stone. </ref> | # If one touched an unclean part of the body or went to the bathroom, one must search and find water to wash one's hands without a bracha for [[Shemoneh Esrei]]. <ref> Mishna Brurah 92:27 writes that this applies only if one has Stam hands(they are in doubt as to their cleanliness).

# However, in order to say [[Brachot]], [[Kriyat Shema]], or learn Torah one does not need to wash one's hands. <ref> Mishna Brurah 92:25 writes that implied in the Shulchan Aruch is, that not only does [[Shemoneh Esrei]] require clean hands, but for [[learning Torah]], [[Kriyat Shema]] or [[Brachot]] Stam hands (they are in doubt, they are not certainly clean or unclean) are sufficient. However, Mishna Brurah also quotes the Pri Megadim 4, who writes that [[Kriyat Shema]] does need washed hands. </ref> | # However, in order to say [[Brachot]], [[Kriyat Shema]], or learn Torah one does not need to wash one's hands. <ref> Mishna Brurah 92:25 writes that implied in the Shulchan Aruch is, that not only does [[Shemoneh Esrei]] require clean hands, but for [[learning Torah]], [[Kriyat Shema]] or [[Brachot]] Stam hands (they are in doubt, they are not certainly clean or unclean) are sufficient.
